I don't want to supercharge my productivity.
I have never understood how "productivity" intersects with writing code. Apply it to any other artform and it sounds absurd.
"Supercharge your productivity" while painting.
"Supercharge your productivity" while composing a symphony.
"Supercharge your productivity" while authoring a novel.
The more coding is reduced to rote "reqs input -> logic output", the more our industry is screwed.

- simonw 2y agoYeah, I didn’t pick that episode title! Being able to write code faster absolutely does make a difference for me though - it helps me be much more ambitious with the projects I take on. I wrote a note about that a few days ago: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Sep/15/speed-matters/ https://simonwillison.net/2024/Sep/15/speed-matters/
